The Colorado Rapids Soccer Club extended their home unbeaten streak in regular season to 19 games after earning a hard-fought 2-2 draw against expansion side Minnesota United FC. Dominique Badji and Marlon Hairston found the next for the Rapids on a wild Saturday night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The Rapids dominated most of the possession and were rewarded with the first goal of the night through Badji’s persistent play in the attacking zone. The Senegalese striker was able to beat Bobby Shuttleworth at the near post after a poor giveaway by Minnesota’s defense.

The lead would last until five minutes into the second half, as Kevin Molino would tie things up from the spot at the 50 minute mark after Williams took down Collen Warner inside the box. Eight minutes later, Christian Martinez flicked in a decently placed cross past Tim Howard, thus giving the Loons their first-ever lead in MLS.

Hairston would get the equalizer a minute later, getting on the end of a perfectly served cross from Marc Burch at the far post. The Rapids had a few chances to send Minnesota home with their third consecutive loss, but both teams would have to settle for the draw.

The Rapids get two bye weeks before returning to league play. Next up for Mastroeni’s side is a road contest at Sporting Kansas City on Sunday, April 9 (5:00 p.m. MT - FS1). Currently, the Rapids (1-1-1; 4 points) occupy the sixth place in the Western Conference.
